西フランダースの絶景の山頂・トップ12

The observation point on the Geitenberg is a bird migration counting station. Every autumn, the Natuurpunt bird working group conducts counts at several traditional migration sites in the region. Under normal weather conditions, the posts are occupied every weekend in October. Counts generally begin at sunrise, and in good (bird of prey) migration weather, often continue until sunset. In favorable migration conditions, counts are also conducted outside weekends, from September to November. Source: natuurpunt.be

The summit of the slope lies between the Rodeberg and the Vidaigneberg. Near the summit stands the Lijstermolen (Listers Mill). A chairlift runs between the Baneberg and the Vidaigneberg, gliding over the saddle valley between the two "mountains" and the vineyards of the Entre-Deux-Monts, offering panoramic views of northern France and the Belgian coastal plain. The summit is 140 meters high. The name comes from the Bane family, who owned the mountain in the 13th and 14th centuries. The slope is also sometimes called Gildestraat (Gilde Street). https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baneberg

Authentic and unspoiled. We saw an incredible carpet of flowers growing in the sand dunes.

From the top of the Rodeberg you have a wide view over the rolling hills of the Westhoek, which are famous for their natural beauty and the war history that played an important role here. Loker itself lies at the foot of the Rodeberg and is a typical picturesque village, surrounded by vast fields and green meadows.

Strategic hill called Hill 60 in the First World War.

Welcome to De Hoge Blekker, with its 33 meters the highest dune in the entire Flemish coastal region. A striking appearance and an impressive eye-catcher. The dune used to be a fixed navigation point for sailors. From a distance they could see the white back as a kind of 'flash' ('bleach' is the local dialect for 'flash'). The Hoge Blekker is a drifting dune that has covered some distances over time. The dune now covers an area of approximately 33 hectares. Enough room for a picnic stop!

Just enjoy the beautiful views.

Beautiful semi-paved walking path that goes through De Doornpanne. Every season is colored differently here. With a bit of luck, donkeys or ponies will come to greet you.
